The song It Stops Today has become my signature song and it is sung by one of my favorite singers, Colbie Caillat. I first heard this song after a break up and it spoke volumes as to where I was in my life. I had always depended on others …

Genesis is LEGENDARY British band in the progressive rock genre. Originally, I wasn’t too keen on them, but after Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel, that is when I became aware of Genesis as a band, and actually began to like them and respect them for what they …

As much as i enjoy the occasional power metal album, these days there are so many options available and releases in the genre are so frequent that it’s gotten to the point that an album of this style really needs something special if it’s going to draw me in …

I’m sorry. I just can’t like the books. I can’t stand the movies. I have no fangirl fantasies of being swept away by a semi-dead 108-year-old virgin who wants to carry on tales of how he would destroy me if he made love to me and …

Often times, concept music is a genre that just seems to do nothing but turn me off. For the most part, I find music that tells fictional stories to be insufferable, as they seem to always fall into the same boring tones regardless of who is performing it. This …

What has happened to Michael Learns To Rock lately..? They have not been making any music; not that I know of. They are an icon personally to me and it would be a real great loss in the music industry if they are really not there anymore. …

It’s a weird title, but The Only Other Broadway CD You’ll Ever Need is really the name of this CD, which features a variety of Broadway standout numbers from a slew of performers.
The liner jacket covers each song, the play it’s from, and the performers, so it gives the …

This truly is an astonishing debut. Arcade Fire are a group of ten canadian musicians led by Win Butler and his wife Regine. They include amongst their ranks, pianists, violinist and harp players. Clearly this is not your average rock group and yet when they play live, they invest …

The Josh Groban Awake Live DVD is awesome. It was the taped, but edited, performance of Groban’s Salt Lake City concert. Apparently, he’d performed there on his first tour and wanted to return and tape this live performance. The only reason I pointed out the edited …

Although I enjoy volume one in this three volume series the most despite the disappointing audio quality, volume two is nonetheless entertaining still because it features a lot of songs from the Beach Boys that aren’t heard as often as say “Good Vibrations” or “California Girls” or “Kokomo”. Those …

Wolfmother’s Self titled debut was released in late 2005 to mixed reviews, many critic’s attacked this album for it’s heavily borrowed riffs and song structure from many 70’s stlye metal bands, I have no problem with their borrowing bits and pieces, every good artists borrows. It took some …

“Everybody Plays the Fool” by The Main Ingredient is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. From the first time I heard it on the radio, the song clicked with me. It is so very true to the way love works that it causes me to tear …

I would have thought that just about everyone by now, at least out of those people who have some sort of interest in football and who have been watching the World Cup (or listening to it on the radio), would have come across the vuvuzela, the one-note plastic trumpet …

I generally do not listen to reggae music, but when I do I usually tend to gravitate to the older types of reggae music like those from the nineteen nineties and sometimes, very rarely, the late eighties. This also means that I tend to prefer certain artistes such as …

Personally, I have a great disdain for country music, but during the year 2004, many great country songs made their way onto the airwaves and ‘There Goes My Life’ is one of those wonderful tunes.
I find this song to be very sweet, tender, moving, and sad all at …

I am a serious fan of Kayne West, as many other people are also. I really lovve his song Flashing Lights, there is just something about this song that captures me. So many of my friends are confused by my near obsession over this song. I am not kidding …

Jordin Sparks is such an awesome person. Not only is she young, but she is also talented and I think for someone with a nice image as her, she has a nice big voice to boot too. However, the songs inside are quite on average. I think …

Diamond Joe is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Good As I Been To You. Right from the opening section of this track, Dylan’s vocal tone really doesn’t appeal to me very much but then again he went through a long period where his vocal …

Ten Years After, I’m Coming Home, released in 1996, compilation.
A band that defintelt stands the test of time is Ten Years After. Alvin Lee and company could really belt out the jams. It’s sad that a lot of teenagers into heavier music today don’t realize how important the …

You is the opening track of Radiohead’s debut album, Pablo Honey. To begin, as with many of the songs on this record, You has a very grunge sound to it, in my opinion at least, which makes it a track which may be decent in its own regard, but …

Trivium come back to their roots of pure metal and take a step away from the experimental The Crusade, with the help of producer Nick Raskulinecz they cut the frills on this album and do a good job keeping it heavy, this album is more aggressive than Ascendancy and …

By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …

I like it, I love it by Tim McGraw is my favorite song because it is my friends ring tone and he is in love with country music. This song is so romantic because it talks about how much this guy likes this girl and how much he …

When I first heard Shawn Mendes around 2 years ago, the time he debuted “Life of the Party”, he reminded me very much of Justin Bieber. His voice has the same flavor, youth and coldness of the star that sold out at that time.
I think the difference between …

It has been years since Tool had released “Lateralus”, their most complex, tribal infused, conceptualized and mathematical album, and many were expecting their next release to completely blow its predecessor out of the water. I regard Lateralus as one of the Best albums of our generation, and one of …

Albums of the 11th Madonna released, could be described as an ambitious project from Madonna. 12 songs with up-beat tempo, many include elements of hip-hop, although still strong in the style of Madonna.

Rowdy Country is a music video that stars George Jones, Mickey Gilley, Mel McDaniel and Moe Bandy. George Jones performs the song The one I Loved Back Then which is also known as the corvette song. I like this one because it is so funny to think that the …

It is rare to see an Asian American songstress making a name for herself in America, despite the claim that there is no racial bias in entertainment. And so Vienna Teng’s presence upon the adult alternative music scene is very much refreshing and a welcome change from the numerous …

Listening to Circus by Britney Spears, I must say that she has definitely improved on her style of singing. Though not that much of an improvement, her songs are mostly trance-like and kind of like an 80’s era or disco kind. You can’t quite put the money on …
